March 14 Anderson Highland High School (Sunday) 2108 E. 200 North, Anderson IN Contact: Cale Hoover (765) 622-1184 Clinician: Cale Hoover Registration: 12:00 - 1:00 pm Time: 1:00 - 4:00 pm USA Wrestling's National Coaches Education Program is a four tiered certification system for coaches in the sport of wrestling. As the National Governing Body for the sport of wrestling in the United States, USA Wrestling actively works to promote and develop the sport of wrestling through the NCEP. The Copper Certification, the first of the four levels, is an enjoyable introduction to the sport of wrestling. The course is highly interactive using the USA Wrestling Instructor's video and the second edition of Coaching Youth Wrestling published through the American Sport Education Program. Coaches that complete the four hour course and receive an 80% or higher on the thirty question take-home multiple choice test are certified at the Copper Level. Coaches will then be entered into the USA Wrestling NCEP database and receive a certificate of completion and a Copper Card used to authenticate certification at USA Wrestling events. Coaches are encouraged then complete the next level of certification, the Bronze Level. People with a strong background in the sport of wrestling are allowed to begin the certification at the Bronze Level without previously completing the Copper Level.
